bullhead bait

[bgreen82]

i know this has been asked before but i dont want to look. what size bullhead can you take out to use for bait and is there a limit?

[mplspug]

7" and I forget the number you can have. Someone else will answer. For me, it's bed time.

[DTro]

Anything under 7" is considered a minnow. I believe you can have 120 or 240 (one of the two)

On a side note I read elsewhere that Moore's bait now has them for sale if you are near the city.

I went out and caught a bunch last night and I will go tonight and get some more, then I should be good to go for quite a while.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Yeah, Moore's does have them now. $8 a dozen.

[rushing]

wow $8 a dozen!!! I'm glad I have a endless supply!

[Ralph Wiggum]

Cheaper than big sucker minnows by far!!!

If you think about it, its really cheap if you consider bait to catch the bait, gas to aquire the bait, and time spent catching the bait.. especially when the bullies arent biting/not accessable when you want to get out fishing.

Big suckers are way too expensive, especially when they die in 5 minutes in 78 degree water.

the amount you can have is 144 or otherwise 12 dozen just like minnows. and were the fish you catch makes a difference to can't be infested waters such as milfoil or wormmy fish or zebra mussels (ect).

Yeah I hear what you are saying. It must be tough up in the cities, I am spoiled down here. I have a spot near my house that almost always has bullies and if that one doesnt work out there are a bunch more not too far.

I have my bullhead factories too near home.. know where I can net them also(not close to home).. only problem is they get an attitude from time to time and dont bite until sunset.. I would rather be catting by then considering they are biting in the daylight right now.. shhh

Anyway.. I live 6 miles from the place I fish for bullheads.. got stuck in rush hour traffic and it took an hour to get to the lake.. or 3 gallons of gas at idle speed( there went that $10 in gas)... went fishing after and I used 4 bullheads myself. I could have spent $4 for a 1/2 dozen and saved the extra energy.

If you dont have a stock tank.. they are way cheaper to buy!

[Mr Special]

Biting during the day time.

So you're saying skip working on Mom's house and get out fishing.

[Ralph Wiggum]

No, I need the time to play catch-up

[mplspug]

I can catch bullies too, but that's not really the point. I don't mind catching them, but if I can save time and extra driving around, I'll do it.

[rushing]

Well, I'm sure its very convient for people up in the cities where driving anywhere to do anything(buying bait/catching bait/going fishing)is gonna cost you and arm and a leg. We are just lucky down in the kato area not to have that extra added problem. I just couldnt imagine paying for bullies down here. Between myself and a couple other guys, we are on the river at least 4-5 nights a week so we all have some sort of way of keeping bullies around to advoid going to catch them every night before going out. So someone always has bait on hand.

Maybe someday Pizza Hut will ask if you would like a side order of bullheads to be delivered too!

[Guest]

Just remember that pizza hut will only deliver if the location has a physical address..

Pretty bad when a few of my fishing spots have an actual address. Just be certain to have the local pizza hut number on your phone because that 4888... number doesnt work from a cell phone.
